• View the highest single-drop fall in southern Africa. The Maletsunyane Waterfalls are three times higher than the Niagara frontier.

• Explore the Motlejoeng Caves, 2km (1.2 miles) south of Mahale's Hoek and the Masitise Cave House.

• Revisit prehistory and see dinosaur footprints, many of which are still in the same place where they were discovered. Important sites include Moyeni, Qalo and Morija.

• Observe the petrified forest on the mountain of Thaba-Ts'oeu.

• Appreciate Lesotho's unique species of birds - as many as 279 have been recorded. Birds that are rare to southern Africa can be watched on a trip along the Mountain Road, a spectacular route through the centre of the country.
